In a nutshell, I am a: * 29+ 'something' (with a huge emphasis on the something part! ;) ) * wife  * mom * home educator  * chocolatier * Chronic illness survivor * organization enthusiast and guru (translation:  I cannot function without organization) From as early as I can remember, I had a clearly mapped out plan for my life. Things did not go according to plan though (they rarely do!).   Life got in the way BIG TIME, causing my life GPS to constantly say "recalculating".   Crushing the Chaos -- past and present -- born out of necessity, carried on deliberately.  We only get one chance at this life, so might as well live it the best we can despite the challenges we face. Self-care on all levels IS essential!
